hi,
Sometimes I just want to shut every window on screen but of course you can't. So you have to step-by-step shut individual windows...Isn't there a way to just shut all open windows or something? I've wanted something like this for a long time. :)
Hope this helps
If not blame me
If it does help thank Brink and this great tutorials
Shut Down Windows Shortcut
If you are satisfied with simply hiding them, you could show the desktop. Click the button at the lower-right of the taskbar, or press Win+D.
The thing that wasn't clear to me in that tutorial is whether that method just closes windows, or closes Windows? When using it, does one remain at desktop?
The only purpose that I can see for something like this, is that it is recommended to close all other programs, when installing another. Usually, I'm too lazy to really do that, and only close the ones that are visibly open, like those displaying a taskbar icon, not those running in the System tray.
In the past, I had used Outertech's Batchrun to creat a shortcut that would do this, but it requires adding each program manually, and then updating it as required when the situation changes.
Every poster has different needs. I for one, have no need or desire to shut down all my windows simutaneoulsy. I thought that regarless of the original intent of the Tut, it would serve the poster's needs. I did not think that the specifics of your question would be a concern to the poster and do not give it much thought.
Close all Utilities may do what you want. Let me know if it works for you.
